Database Clean Up Overview

The Central (CERT) Certification Program is seeking to ensure that all information within the database is up to date. To do this, we are requesting that each certified firm respond to our request to confirm their information in the system is accurate and up to date. The CERT Program may conduct a periodic review of all certified firms within CERT database. Once a business is certified, it does have a continuing obligation to report any change in circumstances that would cause it not to meet the eligibility requirements for certification. Businesses must also inform CERT of any material change in their information in the database, such as contact information or NAICS codes.

We understand that business owners are very busy and the process of getting certified takes time. With that in mind, we are seeking to make this process as easy as possible for you. Please review our FAQ here or short video here on the process and what to expect.

Who Must Participate

All CERT-certified businesses must participate in the database clean up. When the database has outdated information and businesses in the system with incomplete information it, it makes it difficult for people seeking vendors in the system and diminishes their trust in the tool. Conversely, it may result in businesses not being notified of opportunities because information is not up to date. By having prompt participation by all businesses, it may improve the functionality of the system for all.
